I installed Ubuntu 14.10. After about 5 minutes of browsing the web, I noticed the garbled graphics. This proved that the situation with the integrated Intel x4500 graphics has worsened. As I was aware of what caused the issue in 14.04, I disabled the swap partition by adding “swapoff -a” to the “/

This bug is still very much present and has worsened in Ubuntu 14.10. Follow the above workarounds (especially comment #3, as comment #4 seems to be less helpful on 14.10 ). This bug needs to be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed

I have managed to find a more suitable fix, one which could easily be implemented for other systems using this graphics chip or similar. The Intel X4500 graphics chip does not have dedicated memory for graphics and thus relies on the system memory. From my testing it would appear that Ubuntu by de

Yes, I confirm this to be an issue with swapping. Disabling swap resolves the issue of garbled graphics at the memory peak level. If you're running a computer with enough ram, the swap partition can permanently be disabled by adding "swapoff -a" to "/etc/rc.local" This is merely just a workaround.

2014-08-19 Thread Alexander Lindo
Public bug reported: I have been having an issue with garbled graphics on an ASUS K50IJ Laptop with Intel GMA X4500 integrated graphics. It is a difficult bug to recreate in a timely fashion as it requires you to be on the system for a decent amount of time (like an hour, sometimes less). Usage s
